The Bethesda Blog has a news roundup for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the upcoming RPG sequel. They point to a RipTen preview where the author describes a vampire encounter, and interviews by the tireless Pete Hines, who discussed the game with Computec, Destructoid, FBC, and GameSpot during Gamescom. They also note the news on Joystiq that the first two DLC packs for Skyrim will be timed Xbox 360 exclusives: "Earlier this morning, Microsoft announced that the first two pieces of game add-on content for Skyrim will be releasing exclusively on Xbox 360 — 30 days before they’re available anywhere else. When we have more details on the content, we’ll let everyone know. "

Indeed, there is good DLC. There is bad DLC. Don't play the bad DLC. If you hate DLC don't play any DLC. I bought some of Oblivion's (not everything was in the Game of the Year.) I think I bought one of the Borderlands ones but never found it. I bought one of the Saints Row 2 ones and really questioned the value. I bought some of the Fallout 3 but not NV. And I bought Undead Nightmare.Overall I got a lot of value from most of those purchases, particularly Undead Nightmare, and don't regret a thing. Nor do I regret ignoring DLC for everything else. And hell, I would have killed for a MW2 DLC pack giving more co-op specops missions (hands down the best part of that game for me.)

And stop whining about it being "removed content." There have been a few hints of this from some games, but they've been rare. Even Day 1 DLC isn't "removed content," it's a separate team with a separate budget working on separate content.
